When I first saw the tangle Mi2 by CZT Mimi Lempart I was fascinated. I copied all the steps down and added it to my notebook. I'm embarrassed to admit though, that I didn't do it in a tile. So when this challenge came up I was happy that it got me to really play around with the tangle. I decided I wanted to play with it using color.
The first one uses a tile that I colored using a watercolor technique and my Tombow markers. The tangles were done with a colored Micron pen for the dark pink and a white gelly roll pen for the rest. Colored pencils did the shading.
For the second tile I tried doing it on a circle so that it could be used as an ornament. (It's only 5 months till Christmas!) I also tried being a little more careful in my spacing - Not so careful that it took away from the zen aspects though!
these look fabulous. using colour works so well with them. Five months to christmas - it sounds like such a long time, but I know it will just fly by!
ReplyDeleteI love how the color really makes these pop. They're gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful. I love how the first tangle is so 3 dimensional and the color is great. The second one will make a terrific ornament. The white with the colors really pops.
ReplyDeleteSue, I love your sense of style and color. These are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI think they are both beautiful. I am impressed with how even you got your wash with the first one using Tombow markers. I haven't mastered that smooth of a wash yet.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I especially like the first one, it looks great on this colored paper.

Sue, on my Flickr page you asked me what a certain tangle is. Well, it's 'verve' by JJLaBarbera. Here is the link:
